Don't do it and ruin automotive rivalry forever 

[omicron]

What on earth would VW do with Ferrari, aside from competing against itself yet again?

VW = GM

Truthfully, it could take the Frri/Prsche rivalry to previously unreached heights... you know the brands in the VWAG or whatever it's called exist for no other reason than to squash each other out

I know those spots but they would never have worked over here.

Boooooooooooooooooooo

What, why?  VW already has Lambo; this just seems so dumb.

Because the guy isn't really German?

I'm not sure they worked over here other than to reaffirm people's suspicions that those Germans are an odd lot.

VW- Don't buy Ferrari. You already own everything I love, leave some competition out there to challenge you.

It won't happen. Ferrari will go about winning its class in ELMS, VW will get pissed and subsequently enter an Audi R8 into the GTS class and kick the F458's ass for five years after that, as well as hire remarkably tall drivers who may need a bump notched into the roof for them.

The Italians would never lose Ferrari to the Germans.

veedub is our new overlords.

taking down the competition, i guess. well, buying it up, actually. it would have to be profitable, being a business deal.

The humor just won't be understood here. And that slogan "German Engineering" is unknown here. I am serious. VW has never used it here. It's something they've created for North America it seems.

VW uses very simple and direct advertisements here that get straight to the point. That's pretty much how we want our car advertisements. No bullshit, no icing on the cake, just plain facts given to us straight away.

Best VW commercial that VW never made.

Looks like Mercedes likes to use sluts in their German ads
